New cargo route links Jiaxing with Amsterdam and Delhi

A Suparna Airlines cargo aircraft lands at Jiaxing Nanhu Airport.

Jiaxing Nanhu Airport in Zhejiang province launched a new international cargo route on Nov 6, connecting Amsterdam, Jiaxing, and Delhi. Operated by Suparna Airlines, the route marks the airport's first cargo link to Delhi.

The flight departed from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, the Netherlands, and reached Jiaxing after about 11 hours. After cargo handling in Jiaxing, the flight continued to Indira Gandhi International Airport in Delhi, India, carrying nearly 100 metric tons of goods, mainly auto parts and textiles.

The flight used a Boeing 777F freighter, which offers long-range capacity and high operating efficiency. The new route further expands Suparna Airlines' cargo network from Jiaxing, following its earlier launches of international services to Chicago and Los Angeles. It also provides the Yangtze River Delta region with a new air link to Europe and South Asia.

Since opening its first international cargo route on May 28, the airport has launched eight international cargo routes to East Asia, South Asia, Europe, and North America, handling more than 8,300 tons of import and export cargo.
